Suggest Remedy For Tenderness And Swelling In Knuckle

Hi, I was playing rugby and my hand was stood on. It instantly swelled up and then started to bruise now 4 days later the knuckle is still swollen. I have full movement of my hand pain free and it only feels tender if I put pressure on the swelling although it is itchy sometimes.
